    For question 1 also added back (wrongly IMO) 500 for over depreciation as it was $3m over 3 years by 6 months to the YE balance and then they also had a profit of 700 on the investment (I think)

    LOL I just wish we could see the answers now…

    Hello! I don’t remember, the pre acquisition profit was 8000 or the loss of (4000)? which was the profit of this year and the profit past periods?

    Very hard.. struggled with Q1 more than Q2 which in past exam papers was the other way round
    Goodwill retained earning for subsidiary= b/f retained earnings and loss to year end, and loss that was agreed at purchase for pre acq (2000) not sure it was right but I had to carry on with the remaining calculations and B/S so even if I get this bit one by theory is correct. Also run out of time, mainly only answered Q1/2&3 and only a few parts of 4&5. Not looking good!!!

    As for me, I did all the 5 questions but I had trouble was slightly in Q1 with the loss rather than retained earnings, and Q2 with that stupid note 1 and director bonus.
    I think Q3 was not too bad with ratios made it more juicy. Q4 and Q5 ok this was funny for me I had 1.15 hour to do these two questions and i wrote as much as I could until the time over 😀
    Wasn’t the worst paper but every question had something complicated in it. I hope I can pass 🙂

    G/W was cost of investment was 18600 and FVof SNA 20000, and retained earnings were (2000) being preacq plus 8000-(2000) being 10000 multiply by 6/12 minus 2000 plus 5000 is plus 3000 and G/W bargain purchase of 1400. I balance the STOFP in q1 balance STof FP in question 2 meaning profit for the year was correct and SOCIETY, balance cash flow but did bad on Q4 and Q5 cause first 3 took me substantial time i am so scareeeeeeed

    I didn’t do anything with draft loss of 2000 as ithought that it is incl in the p&l for the year so after (4000) and 8000×6/12 i gt 0 as re at acq
    and I got goodwill of 2500 after the fv etc adj

    That should be calc 20000x 75% times 2/5×100/1000 = 600

    what was the goodwill? i could’nt figure out pre and post acq R.E, 2000 loss was pre-acq? and since 8000 was R.E for the year, that would be 10000 for post acq

    10000 is correct but you had to time apportion for half year so 10000×6/12 5000 all preacq was 5000-2000= 3000

    My issue is checked on ACCA website that someone sits for the exam before we write to measure if the 3 hours are adequate .I wonder who do they pick a financial reporting expert ( coz we are students not skyrocket scientist) , however to my knowledge and many peoples views Steve Scott paper which is F7 its hard to finish and most people we fail this paper because of this.

    what abt the tax calulation? we had also to add the deferred tax of the revaluation? (note 1)

    It was also the calculation of ratios and interpretation

    No, 20000×0.75×100/1000 is true because the question say that 100 loan notes for 1000 share ACQUIRED, so no of share acquired is 20000×0.75, all of my friend say that 8500k of GW is true, i have small mistake that cal 20000×100/1000 not 0.75, i forgot it 😀
